Hi,

I am trying to speed up the search of my view, and am wondering if it is possible to implement such a jQuery snippet of code to tell the database to begin searching through the database as soon as a user leaves the input field.

I found online this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38791919/call-a-function-after-leaving-input-field , it doesn't have anything to do with calling a DB query, but it does show there is an onfocusout() function. I am just trying to figure out if this is usable by saying "begin the filtering process, onfocusout"

Thanks,
Sim

Hello,

I assume we are talking about Toolset Search form.
There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, you might consider custom codes, for example, when event "onfocusout" is triggered, you can submit the search form with jQuery submit(), see jQuery document:

We're talking about the search bar that I added to my view/loop. Is the only option to utilize the jQuery submit() function? Because I don't know if that'll be a solution since the user may want to add more filters to the search. Rather, I need a function that will just start querying what was entered into the search field. (The field in question is the Post Title field, and it is an input text type). Do you know of any kind of function offhand? I tried Googling but came back with nothing.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, there isn't such kind of function offhand with Toolset plugins, you can also Toolset Contractors for it:
